Our ideas about the short film animation entitled MAN:

o Life on earth was normal until human beings came to it.

o Humans have changed everything beautiful in nature.
o The environment is humans’ only source of life, but they
don’t care about it.
o Humans are responsible for all types of pollution (land, air,
water, noise, etc.)
o Humans have no mercy. They kill other species.
o Humans kill animals for food, clothing, scientific
experiments, and for pleasure (hunting sport, circus, zoo,
decoration,, etc.)
o Humans use up trees for food, firewood, construction,
furniture, paper, etc. even though they are a source of
oxygen → life
o Man thinks he is the ruler of the world and instead of
protecting it, he just destroys it.
o Sooner or later, humans will be punished for all the damage
they’ve caused.
 Proverb p.52
India’s great leader M. Ghandi said that there is enough on
earth for everybody’s need, but not enough for their greed.
Today, like never before, we are feeling the shocks in
catastrophic floods, droughts, storms, .. and in the high prices of
goods.
If we don’t save the environment, we will all be equally
EXTINCT.
Waste harms the environment, as a result:
Earth is polluted
Our health is negatively affected
Animals’ natural habitat is destroyed
Animals are endangered
Natural resources are lost
